“Great View and Atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2012

Fantastic view, very attentive service, food pricey but good. A great special occasion restaurant, but still you can dress up or down and still fit in. Definitely a "keeper", and a restaurant that delivers on it's reputation.

“Unfortunately we went when the mist blocked the view...good food, great service!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 27, 2012 via mobile

We had to rely on the food only. The steamed clams were fantastic! Also had French onion soup, top sirloin and sauteed shrimp. The steak was cooked perfectly and the reduction was great. Soup was good. Shrimp however, missed the mark. I wasn't real happy with that dish. We will be back.

“Meh”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 26, 2012

So after seven years in LC I finally made it over to Fathoms for lunch....hmmm at two thirty in the afternoon the restaurant is not yet open for business, but you can "enjoy" the bar menu with the same views. However the window tables are tiny so if more than one of you is eating be prepared for some space issues. The fish n chips were priced on the Bar menu the same as any other restaurant. The taste was average, though I did enjoy the batter. Clams were okay but soaked in butter rather than having the option of dipping. 8$ for a Mojito that had little in the way of rum or flavor... save you money for a dessert not a drink.

“Views with a side of crab cake”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 26, 2012

We had a fairly good meal at Fathoms, even though we felt we were paying a premium for the sweeping view of the ocean and cliffs (and for being at the Inn at Spanish Head). The crab cakes were more cake than crab, and the breading on the fried oysters was a bit doughy. My seafood lasagna was quite good, though, and the salad and crab soup were fine. Limited wine-by-the-glass choices unless you want to try their own label. Service was pleasant and efficient. Try the bar--it also has great views
